Cathi Winslow, artistic director of the 10x10 Play Showcase, meets with directors before auditions began

THUNDER BAY - For seasoned actors or those just starting out, stepping into the shoes of a character and bringing them to life on stage in only 10 minutes is no easy feat.

But that didn’t stop dozens of actors from coming out to the first day of auditions for this year’s 10x10 Play Showcase...

Cathi Winslow, 10x10 artistic director, said the annual showcase offers a challenge to all those involved, especially the actors who are tasked with embodying a character in such a short time on stage. But Winslow added that is why so many people come out to audition.

​“Part of the appeal of our show is it is such a short rehearsal period,” she said. “They have less than a month from the time of casting and then they have rehearsals and the show. Compared to a lot of other plays it’s a much shorter time commitment and that appeals to people who have limited time available.”
